Lyrics
Baby, lock the door and turn the lights down lowAnd put some music on that's soft and slowBaby, we ain't got no place to goI hope you understand
I've been thinking 'bout this all day longNever felt a feeling quite this strongI can't believe how much it turns me onJust to be your man
There's no hurry, don't you worryWe can take our timeCome a little closer, let's go overWhat I had in mind
Ain't nobody ever love nobodyThe way that I love youWe're alone nowYou don't know how long I've wanted to
Lock the door and turn the lights down lowAnd put some music on that's soft and slowBaby, we ain't got no place to goI hope you understand
I've been thinking 'bout this all day longNever felt a feeling that was quite this strongI can't believe how much it turns me onJust to be your man
I can't believe how much it turns me onJust to be your man
